bbpress registration did not indicate there was a set minumu for how many characters in username, might be a good idea if there was a note in the register form

i kept getting a username not valid and did not know why, how come with wordpress the username was ok but not on bbpress ?

If I am reading this right, the username was too short? I just registered a user with a single letter as the username on the recent TRAC version and it worked. Others seeing this as well?

In fact, there is a user of just “M” in this forum and has been for ‘quite a few’ versions of bbPress running this forum…..hmm….

I registered as ‘M’ on the wp forums ages ago.

And I run all my registrations through wp instead of bbpress, so I’m no help with this one other than that.

[@trent Member 17 years, 6 months ago]

Yeah, they are integrated and so is the WordPress MU forums.

is there a way to limit the maximum number of characters for a username?

[@null Member 17 years, 5 months ago]

Yes just edit the textfield (where you have to enter your username) and just let it except like 5 characters or less…

[@fel64 Member 17 years, 5 months ago]

That’s the maxlength property of input fields.

You can still edit the HTML, though, and submit your crazy username. A serverside check is best.

[@outchy Member 17 years, 5 months ago]

yeah that’ll work for now, thanks.
